A journey through places we never thought we'd have to go…

Facebook- the life ruiner

My husband and I have been on a beautiful vacation for the past 9 days…and we still have another 6 days to go. It has been a total blast! Spending every moment of every day together, pure heaven for us. We absolutely love being together. Unfortunately though…I made the mistake of checking facebook this week. Here, in the middle of a perfect vacation…I discover that one of my best friends (whom I have known since I was 7) is expecting his first biological child. Him and his wife haven’t even been married for 3 months! She came into the marriage with a child from a previous relationship…so my friend was already a stepfather. My heart literally broke into pieces and fell to the ground…then a stampede of elephants ran over it and crushed the pieces into the ground. I hate that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach…where you so badly want to vomit…but you can’t. To make things even worse…I scrolled down on facebook find out that another childhood friend of mine just found out that she is expecting her second child.

Here’s what i’ve learned:

Never..under ANY circumstance should a person dealing with IF check any form of social networking while they are on vacation. It’s not worth it. I realize that I would’ve found out anyway, but I wish I had gotten through our vacation first. I wish I didn’t have to learn this life lesson the hard way.
